Julie’s Thoughts: I am a big fan of Beverly Lewis. I have read The Shunning, The Confession and The Reckoning which are apart of The Heritage of Lancaster County trilogy. I have also read her Abram’s Daughter’s series. I love reading about the Amish and I think she does a great job of writing about them with a good storyline that keeps you interested. When I got an email about reviewing the movie The Confession, I had to say yes. I watched it last night and I have to say I love the actress that plays Katie Lapp. I think she was perfect for the role based on what I remember about the book. I think they did a great job of bringing this story to the screen. I hope they do plan to make the third book in the series. If they do I hope they keep the same cast.

When it comes to Christian themed movies, I really like Michael Landon, Jr. In some ways I feel like I grew up with his father in the sense that I watched a lot of Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven. Anyway, I find his movies to be well done, well cast and they always present a good story.

I really recommend this movie if you are a fan of his, Beverly Lewis or just like a nice story with a happy ending.
